Dawley House (Dawley Court)

  • House & Family History: In the early 20th century the Gramophone Company (later EMI) moved its headquarters to a site near the location of the demolished Dawley House. Today part of Hayes Industrial Park, EMI's complex ultimately included a factory and a recording studio.

    House Replaced By: It appears that a later house called Dawley Court (the second house, demolished circa 1929) was erected near the site of the first house.
